Titans RT David Stewart (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 1 game against the Steelers.

The calf Stewart strained during practice this week is good to go, meaning the Titans are very healthy heading into the opener. They'll dress just four receivers, a sign they're very confident in the health of Kenny Britt. The Titans' inactives: WR Michael Preston, WR Justin Hunter, LB Zaviar Gooden, C Brian Schwenke, T Byron Stingily, DE Kenyuta Dawson and DE LaVar Edward.

Titans RT David Stewart (calf) is expected to play in Sunday's season opener against the Steelers.

Stewart missed Friday's practice for the second straight day with a calf issue and is listed as questionable on the Week 1 injury report. Akeem Ayers (ankle) is also expected to play after returning to practice Wednesday. Zaviar Gooden (high-ankle sprain) has been ruled out, while starting fullback Quinn Johnson (quad) was placed on injured reserve.

Titans RT David Stewart is practicing fully in training camp after fracturing his right leg last December.

Stewart missed OTAs and minicamp, but avoided the PUP list to open camp. A mauler in the run game and efficient pass protector, Stewart is entering his age-31 season. He forms an impressive tackle duo opposite LT Michael Roos.

Titans RT David Stewart (broken leg) now says he probably won't be ready for May OTAs.

It doesn't sound like a setback for Stewart, just a precaution. He says he still has "a little bit to go" in his recovery. Stewart's lengthy recovery period could explain Tennessee's flirtation with free agent Eric Winston.

Titans RT David Stewart is done for the season with a fractured right leg.

The injury occurred in Tennessee's Week 13 loss to Houston. Pro Football Focus has graded Stewart as a top-25 offensive tackle this season, and he book ends one of the Titans' few strengths opposite LT Michael Roos. Stewart is under contract relatively affordably in 2013 with a $5 million base salary and $1 million offseason roster bonus. Expect him to return as a starter.

Updating a previous item, Titans RT David Stewart suffered a fractured right leg in the first quarter of Sunday's game with the Texans and will miss the remainder of the season.

Stewart will likely be placed on season-ending injured reserve this upcoming week. Mike Otto will play right tackle for the season's final four-plus games. Stewart graded out as Pro Football Focus' eighth-best right tackle in the league through the first 11 games and excels as a pass blocker.

Titans RT David Stewart left Sunday's game against the Texans with a lower right leg injury and was carted off the field.

It didn't look good. A Houston defender dove at the back of Stewart's legs and his leg appeared to be broken, or he's dealing with an ankle injury. Trainers put a brace on his leg immediately. Mike Otto is in at right tackle.

Titans RT David Stewart (calf) is expected to return to practice this week.

It's another boost for Chris Johnson. Although backup Mike Otto handled himself well, Stewart is considered one of the Titans' best run blockers. Johnson is a clear RB1 against the Bills' defense that yields 4.5 yards per carry on the season.

Depth Charts

Lovelocke (6'5/248) was a four-year starter for the PVAMU Panthers, completing 57.6 percent of his senior-year passes with a 16:9 TD-to-INT ratio and ten additional rushing scores. A massive quarterback with 10 1/2-inch hands and 34 1/4-inch arms, Lovelocke has ideal tight end dimensions and could get a look there after running 4.81/4.84 at his Pro Day with a 31-inch vertical and 9-foot-5 broad jump. Lovelocke isn't going to make it as a quarterback.

The Chiefs used a 2012 sixth-round pick on Gray. He appeared in 35 games the past three seasons, mainly on special teams. He's rushed for 99 career yards and one touchdown on 24 carries as the No. 3 back. Gray suffered a torn ACL in November and is now healthy enough where the Chiefs could cut him.

Copeland (5-foot-11 1/8, 271) went to LSU as a four-star defensive tackle, but converted to fullback as a true freshman and became a 22-game starter. What Copeland lacks in versatility -- he's no more than a short-yardage runner and caught seven career passes at LSU -- he makes up for with aggressive, relentless lead blocking. An extremely physical player, Copeland consistently removed linebackers from plays to clear alleys for Jeremy Hill. Dallas isn't a great landing spot for Copeland, however, due to OC Scott Linehan's pass-happy leanings.

Cardinals undrafted WR Damond Powell was shot on Friday, but did not suffer life-threatening injuries.

The incident happened in Powell's hometown of Toledo, Ohio. According to FOX10TV.com, Powell was sitting in his driveway with friends when he was shot in the face. Standing in at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, Powell is a slot prospect out of Iowa. It's unclear if he'll be ready for training camp this week.
